Re: 2 questions about the 4Sevens Quark "X" AAČ Tactical

As everybody else has already mentioned, you can't do that. 2xAA Eneloops work quite well. But really, the best way to run it IMHO is with the 1xAA body and a 14500. A little brighter than the 2xEneloop config, and even if you find yourself with a depleted 14500, it runs pretty well on a single AA alkaline or Eneloop. Not near as much output as the high-power configs, but all modes work, and are usefully bright.

One of my favorite 1xAA lights, since I more often want flood in that size light, which is a good thing because these small XM-L lights don't throw worth a darn. I have an original Quark AAČ Tactical R2 that out-throws it handily, and a $22 Balder SE-1 in R5 that out-throws 'em both.

I have both the regular an tactical. I prefer the regular since I'm always trying to use the lowest lumen level for a given task. The tactical locks into two modes, until you take the time to reprogram it.
